"It's really a conscience, the United States has reached such a level of distrust of the United Kingdom."

After listening to Middleton's report, Alan Wilson looked aggrieved. It was unreasonable. Since when did the special relationship between Britain and the United States become like this, and there is no trust.

"Secretary-General, don't be sad." Middleton was also deceived by his immediate boss, thinking that Alan Wilson was really wronged, and immediately comforted him, "There are actually reasons for the restraint of the United States, and it is not necessarily because of doubts about the United States. Digging holes for America."

"Middleton, you know, it is undeniable that the Prime Minister does want the Cold War to continue."

Alan Wilson blinked, put away his sad expression and said, "But more importantly, it is impossible for a country to have no enemies. It is better for the Soviet Union to be this enemy than for the United States to focus on Europe. When I want to have a dialogue, I also Talk about the current trade war?"

Middleton nodded, and Alan Wilson judged with an unexpected expression, "So, we have to be careful. With the economic strength of the UK, it is certainly a powerful country. But 27% of international trade settlement is It’s inappropriate, I don’t believe the U.S. can’t see this. So recently I’ve been studying with colleagues from various places on how to maintain stability, and this matter will also be your job in the future.”

Hearing such suggestive words, Middleton undoubtedly puffed up his chest proudly, "The Secretary-General's long-term hard work has always been a role model for the entire Whitehall."

"Although it is true, don't say it like that." Alan Wilson stood up and poured a cup of coffee for the No. 2 man in Whitehall, and then hurriedly said, "There is a saying in the East that it is a crime to conceive a jade, which refers to..."

After explaining the crime of being pregnant, Alan Wilson counted with his fingers one by one, the oil in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, the minerals in Australia, the minerals and grain in Rhodesia, and even the offshore financial center of the fishing ground in Newfoundland, which one is not An asset that cannot be quantified?

And these belong to the management of Whitehall, and belong to the wealth of the British Empire that everyone can benefit from.

Americans don't want either? Although the United States is rich enough, who would want too much wealth? From the perspective of the United Kingdom, every time a place is lost, the United Kingdom will bleed heavily.

Who doesn't like a place with fewer things and more resources? But where the maintenance cost is high, Allen Wilson has already scraped the land and discarded it, and now the rest are high-quality assets.

Holding a coffee, Middleton listened to the cabinet secretary's indoctrination to himself, "In fact, what we are worse than the United States is that we have fewer basic skills. I never think that Americans are so smart. In fact, in the past few decades In the middle of the year, I have ridiculed the United States countless times. But they are big, even if they make a lot of mistakes, they are not fatal. We can't make so many mistakes. And considering the fate of Japan and Germany, we can't sell our sovereignty Do a follower."

When it comes to the current amount of international trade settlements, as well as the territories distributed in different parts of the earth, Alan Wilson is not self-praising, although he is fully qualified. Instead, I hope that Middleton can also shoulder this important task. The difficulty now is lower than that in the 1950s and 1960s.

At the beginning, decolonization was like a tsunami. Not to mention the United Kingdom, France, which has always firmly maintained its status as a great power, is Algeria left? At that time, there was really no way.

"Now independent countries have gone through decades of development. If they can do it, they can do it. If they can't do it, they can't do it. They are luckier than the Dutch. The British colonies are not in their hands. The rest of the place, with the framework we built, can Do far more than the surrounding countries that have become independent. It’s also because these countries are really poor.”

There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. It is very suitable for Rhodesia and Malaya. The difference between independence and non-independence is visible to the naked eye.

Alan Wilson still pays more attention to Asia. After all, Malaya can reach South Asia and also faces East Asia across the sea. Both populous countries can see it, which is convenient for the United Kingdom to maintain its influence.

Middleton also agreed with Alan Wilson, "It is true that there are some independent voices in Malaya, but compared with 20 or 30 years ago, militants have been reduced to almost nowhere."

"The times are changing, and Indonesia has kept a low profile." Alan Wilson said, "Politicians, whether it is the Labor Party or the Conservative Party, are untrustworthy when it comes to safeguarding overseas rights and interests. Back then, for their own parliamentary seats, they did not Willing to sacrifice some small profits, now?"

"Now when British people want to immigrate to Australia, don't think about it. In fact, with a little compromise, the UK can build a closer British Empire. Going to Australia today is equivalent to going to Wales, and there is no need to wait in the immigration department."

This is the result of Alan Wilson's efforts to maintain it. In the world in his memory, the dignity of British citizens has long been inferior to the standard of living in Australia. How can there be any pride?

If you want to immigrate, you still have to look at the face of the Australian government, how many places you get, and you have to compete with people from other countries.

But in Middleton's eyes, Alan Wilson's reference to Australia means that he hopes that when he becomes the cabinet secretary in the future, he will continue to maintain half of the British aristocracy.

On the issue of how to face the United States, the two also discussed for a while, and decided to try their best to be friendly, but to protect the interests of the United Kingdom.

After all, the strength of the United States is there, so try not to offend it if you can. There are already many American military bases in this era, and the distribution is also very secret. Almost where the British and French troops exist, the U.S. military exists.

There are no U.S. military bases in Latin America, Brazil, and Argentina, while in Europe there are Britain and France. As for the military bases in Southeast Asia, the U.S. military is rare and sparse in the world.

After all, it is Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. As for other countries, including Thailand, which is sandwiched between Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, Indonesia will definitely not exist if it turns red.

It is impossible for India to allow the United States to station troops in its own country. Yin Lang has already revolutionized, so in the area east of the Persian Gulf, there are not many US military bases, but they are very concentrated.

The African region has always been a weak link of the imperialist powers. The strategic sequence of the United States is definitely stronger than that of Antarctica, so the United States does not have many military bases in Africa.

In fact, considering the former control of Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union, if we compare the military bases of Britain, the United States and France, it seems that in terms of coverage, Britain and France together have the capital to bargain with the United States. The interests of the two countries are not great. France runs Africa, and Britain runs Asia. They are like two populous countries. In addition, Yin Lang, a powerful faction in the Middle East, is also a place where the influence of the United States cannot enter.

"If the Soviet Union completely loses its influence in Eastern Europe, it may destroy the balance." Middleton stood next to the supreme authority, pointing at the world map, and also expounding his views, "From our point of view , the best way is to borrow the power of the United States, so that the power of the United States is on the front line with regional powers, but it is best not to have extra power to dictate to Europe."

Alan Wilson took a sip of coffee and agreed with his successor, "So at least the relationship with France should not be too bad, and we must prevent the Atlantic faction from going crazy from time to time. But I think, even if I have retired by then, in this kind of Maybe it can still help you.”

Middleton actually has a background, which is why he has received the care of the supreme authority and has been promoted rapidly. This background is that Middleton's father is a veteran of World War II, and he is actually a family with a lordship.

This background is not strong. After all, there are thousands of families in the UK like this. Middleton’s father divorced his mother after returning from the army, and her mother went to the United States.

After investigating his life and growth experience, Allen Wilson promoted a group of civil servants with similar backgrounds. He didn’t expect you to be anti-American, but obviously you couldn’t get close if you were pro-American. From generation to generation, he can be regarded as trying his best.

Alan Wilson suggested that at this time, we should go abroad to inspect the work. After all, after taking office, we can get acquainted with colleagues from all over the world. Middleton accepted this suggestion and set the first stop in Berlin, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Germany. go elsewhere.

"Is this not very good?" Alan Wilson pretended to be modest, thinking that your purpose is too obvious, and you clearly know that my son works in Berlin.

"Sir, in fact, my purpose for doing this is the same as yours. I hope that a reliable government will be passed on from generation to generation." It's all what I should do ~lightnovelpub.net~ Well, you need to show your decisiveness in front of everyone." Alan Wilson didn't stop him, and let Middleton play freely.

Middleton set off, and Alan Wilson pinched his fingers for a moment, and said with a smile, "If I remember the time correctly, the time for German reunification has come, hehe."

Apparently, Britain's targeted efforts had succeeded in preventing German reunification. Not only that, he remembered that Kohl had been in power in Germany until 1998 in history.

The German Chancellor has a characteristic. Although the country is a parliamentary system, many prime ministers have been in power for a long time, unlike countries with a general parliamentary system, which are generally in constant internal struggle.

It's a pity that Kohl, the chancellor who still has eight years to rule, was directly disgraced this time and had to recuperate due to physical reasons, leaving the throne of German chancellor.

A few hours later, Middleton had appeared in Berlin and expressed his closeness to Arnold who came to greet him. The two talked and laughed, as if they had known each other for a long time.
